Meet the Lotus Manor Care Home Team

Hi I’m Richard, Head of maintenance at Lotus Manor, With many years’ experience in maintenance I look forward to bringing my knowledge to ensure a safe and comfortable Environment and meeting the high standards of Barchester for our residents, visitors and staff.

Hello, my name is Sally. I worked for a luxury airline company for over 35 years on the front line of Heathrow customer services, where I developed a passion for helping people and making sure they felt supported and cared for. That same dedication naturally applies to working in a care home, where offering kindness, reassurance, and a friendly face can make all the difference to someone’s day. I knew I wanted to work in an environment where I could provide care for the community and be part of something meaningful.

 In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks with my miniature Shetland Sheepdog, Stevie.

Hello, my name is Nina. I have 5 years of experience in care, during which I have developed skills in communication, person-centred care, safeguarding, and care planning. Over the years, I’ve embraced every opportunity for growth in my career, which has helped me to become both confident and compassionate in my work. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Health and Social Care and a Master’s degree in Education from the University of Hertfordshire. In my spare time, I love listening to R&B music and dancing, and when we have a live singer in, I’m always the first to join in and enjoy dancing with the residents.

Hello, my name is Stephen. I have worked in school catering for the past 2 and a half years, where I’ve enjoyed being part of a team and working with people each day. I’m now looking forward to bringing that same enthusiasm into the care environment, where everything from the first cup of tea in the morning to a favourite slice of cake in the afternoon plays an important role in daily life here at Lotus Manor.

 In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new cycling routes, unwinding with a good book, and taking time to relax. What I look forward to most is helping residents feel at home by making mealtimes enjoyable and special.

I joined Barchester in 2024 and have enjoyed being part of a dedicated team passionate about providing high-quality care. With a background as an IT professional and a Master’s in Business Administration, I bring strong organizational and problem-solving skills to my role as an Administrator at Lotus Manor.

I have always been a people person, and working in the care sector has been incredibly rewarding. I find great fulfilment in getting to know our residents and their families, ensuring they feel supported and valued. It’s a privilege to be part of a team that makes a real difference in people’s lives every day

Hi, I’m Bryony. I have over 7 years of specialist experience in dementia care. During this time, I’ve worked in a variety of roles, from housekeeping to senior carer, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of how to provide the best support.
